Notes: Rebula is Slovenia's indigenous variety and one of the most representative varietals of the region. It gives exceptional results on Brda marl soil (opoka). Our Rebula is golden yellow color, with a lively bouquet of ripe citrus, ripe yellow fruits and a touch of vanilla. The wine is soft and warm with bright freshness and minerality, yet rich body and a long-lasting finish.
Serving Suggestions: This wine is particularly fantastic with seafood and freshwater fish, as well as sushi and sashimi and creamy pastas and white meat dishes.
